⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spiritually Powerful Visit – Shri Jogulamba Ammavari Temple (5th Shakti Peetham)
Hi all! Me and my family visited the Shri Jogulamba Ammavari Temple in Alampuram a few months ago, during our spiritual trip after completing Srisailam Temple Darshan. We reached the temple in the evening, and it was a truly powerful and divine experience.
This temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethams and is considered the 5th Shakti Peetham — a very significant place in Hinduism. You can feel the strong spiritual energy here.
🛕 About the Temple: The temple architecture is ancient and has seen the test of time.
Sadly, parts of the structure appear damaged or weathered, which is a reminder of past foreign invasions and neglect during Mughal and British rule.
Despite all this, the temple remains strong in spirit and continues to attract devotees.
⚠️ Concern About Preservation: During my visit, I personally explored the entire temple premises. I later came across a video online showing concerns about unauthorized constructions inside the temple boundaries. It is being claimed that a mosque has been constructed by painting over parts of the temple walls, and it appears to be within the temple's compound.
As a devotee, I feel deeply saddened and concerned to see such a sacred Hindu spiritual space potentially encroached upon. A Shakti Peetham holds immense religious value for millions of Hindus. Every religion deserves respect, and so do sacred spaces.
🙏 Appeal to Government: I humbly urge the Telangana Government and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to:
Inspect and verify the current condition of the temple premises.
Preserve the sanctity and historical importance of this Shakti Peetham.
Ensure unauthorized encroachments, if any, are removed respectfully and lawfully.
This temple deserves proper protection, restoration, and respect from all communities and the government. Let us preserve our Sanatana Dharma and sacred heritage for future generations.
